Ten years on since winning his last trophy in England, Nicolas Anelka is out to make up for lost time by scooping the lot with Chelsea.

Despite all his goals for Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Bolton over the last decade, Anelka has not lifted a major honour in this country since claiming the FA Cup with the Gunners in 1998.

Anelka, then only 19, scored in the Final against Newcastle and no-one who witnessed his precocious talent that day at Wembley could have imagined that would be his last winner's medal in England.

But after scoring his first goal for Chelsea, the £15million striker is confident this season will have a silver lining.

Avram Grant's side are the only team in with a chance of winning the quadruple and Anelka claims they can make history.

"Everything is possible," said the French international. "It will be very difficult for us to win everything, but all I can say is that is our aim - to win every competition we are playing in.

"It's a while since I won a medal in England and it would be nice if I could put that right this year.

Obviously there's a good chance because we are already in a final.

"I'm looking forward to trying to win that one and we're also still in the race for everything else. I hope this season that my wait will come to an end and I will have more trophies.

"I think it's possible. I said when I signed this was a big club with big players so I'm not surprised at how well we're doing.

I knew before, but it's great to line up along these kind of players and there are still many more to come into the team."

Thanks to Anelka, Chelsea aren't missing the brooding Didier Drogba, and the Frenchman's strike at the JJB Stadium was his 12th in 26 club games this season.

It helped the Blues dig out their eighth successive win on Wigan's potato patch of a pitch and confound the critics who predicted they would fall apart without their African stars and the injured John Terry and Frank Lampard.

Challenging for trophies is quite a gear change for Anelka after spending the first half of the season fighting relegation with Bolton. But the former Real Madrid star says he already feels at home at Stamford Bridge, and it's just like 10 years ago watching him light up the English game.

"It's a strange feeling for me because it's like another world at Chelsea compared to where I was," he said. "I was fighting against relegation and now I'm fighting to win things.

"So it's weird for me. But in some ways it's the same because I'm still trying to score goals to win football matches.

"Although I'm new here, it feels like I've been here a long time. The other players talk to me as if I've been one of them for a while and that's good for me.

"Things are going well on the pitch. I always felt I wanted to play for a big club again and now that I'm at one, there's no point in me moving around any more."

Anelka, 28, repaid the first part of his £15million fee by scoring one goal and creating the other for Shaun Wright-Phillips in Chelsea's FA Cup win at Wigan.

He sprung Wigan's dodgy offside trap to convert Juliano Belletti's cross for the opener on 53 minutes and eight minutes from time he beat Kevin Kilbane on the left and crossed for Wright-Phillips to seal a place in the last 16.

Latics boss Steve Bruce felt his defence made it too easy for Anelka, but was big enough to applaud the Frenchman's performance. "You can understand why he's gone for the money he's gone for," he said. "He was the difference in the game."

However the goal of the game was Antoine Sibierski's in the 87th minute when he turned beautifully on the edge of the area and hit an unstoppable shot past Petr Cech.

Marcus Bent nearly grabbed an unlikely equaliser in stoppage time when he clipped the top of the bar with a drive from an acute angle.

But there was no fairytale ending for Wigan and Sibierski was consoled by a pat on the back from Anelka, who congratulated his compatriot on his goal.

"Nic wasn't surprised because he knows me as a player and what I can do," he said.

"When a player like Nicolas Anelka comes to you to congratulate you and tell you that you scored a great goal, that's a compliment for me. It's the best goal I've scored in England.

When you score goals like that it makes you happy, but we still lost and that disappoints me."
